| The orient of a pearl
can also be called its color, or
hue. This quality gives each pearl
its truly unique description, because
of the huge variety of subtle color
tones which only South Seas pearls
achieve. Sometimes the color is not
uniform, being darker on one side
than it is on the other. The best
way to view pearls is in indirect
or overcasted natural light, where
the green, eggplant, blue, peacock
or gold overtones are most pronounced.
Perfect matching of these delicately
colored gems for an earring pair
or a completed strand can increase
the pearl's individual value from
its previous, unmatched value. |
